The Bruins hold a commanding 3-0 lead in this Eastern Conference final. But while the Bruins have been the superior team, the 3-0 series lead is somewhat misleading. The Hurricanes nearly pulled a road upset in Game 1 leading 2-1 entering the third period before falling apart.

The Hurricanes outshot the Bruins, 36-31, in Game 3 but lost 2-1.

Carolina has a great home record and obviously is in must-win territory. So an all-out effort from the Hurricanes should be forthcoming while the Bruins are fat and happy.

The Panthers have won five of their six Stanley Cup home games and are 9-2 overall during their last 11 home contests.
